Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)THE PLASTIC HOLDING THE HOOD PROP ROD BROKE WHILE THE HOOD WAS UP CAUSING THE HOOD TO COME CRASHING DOWN. I HAD NOT TOUCHED THE ROD. LUCKILY I WAS NOT LEANING INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AT THE TIME. I WOULD HAVE HAD SERIOUS INJURIES IF IT HAD COME DOWN ON MY HEAD AND NECK. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.
THE FORD TRANSIT I PURCHASED 08/05/2019 SLIDING DOOR DOES NOT OPEN. IT IS THE ONLY WAY OUT OF THE CAR. WHEN TRYING TO ENTER THROUGH THE DOOR IT TAKES SEVERAL MINUTES SO WE ENTER THRU THE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER DOOR. TO EXIT THE VEHICLE... NOT POSSIBLE IT'S STUCK. I TOLD THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SEMI ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT. BUT THEY HAVE NOT AND THEY ARE NOT ANSWERING MY PHONE CALLS. AS AN EX-SAFETY OFFICER I SEE THIS AS A SAFETY VIOLATION. I CALL THE REGIONAL OFFICE AND SHE HAS NOT ANSWERD EITHER. THE ISSUE WAS DISCOVER TWO DAYS AFTER I BROUGHT THE CAR HOME AND I TRY TO PUT MY GRAND KIDS IN THE REAR SEATS.
THIS IS NOT A CRASH. THE VEHICLE WAS PUCHASE IN AUG2019. EVER SINCE I BEEN TRYING TO GET THE SLIDING DOOR FIX. THE DOOR DOES NOT OPEN. IS BINDING, FROZEN. IT REQUIRES KNOWHOW AND ELBOW GREASE TO PRY IT OPEN. MY GRANDCHILDREN (AGES 7 TO 15) CANNOT OPEN THE DOOR. EITHER FROM THE INSIDE OR OUTSIDE. THE DOOR IS THE ONLY WAY OUT AND VIOLATES THE WARNING STICKER ON THE DOOR. ZECK , THE PLACE I PURCHASE THIS NEW CAR WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I HAVE FILE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS WITH BBB AUTO LINE BUT THEY KEEP TELLING ME THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVE MY CCF CASE NUMBER FRD1930985. I HAVE SENT THIS SEVERAL TIMES. I AM GETTING TO BELIEVE THAT WHOM EVER IS WORKING MY COMPLAINT MIGHT BE ON THE FORD PAYROLL TO DISPOSE OF COMPLAINTS.
